Editor-in-Chief, JTO on 2022 Impact Factor
Alex A. Adjei, MD, PhD
"JTO’s impact factor has more than quadrupled from 5.040 in 2015 to 20.4 in 2022. This is a notable achievement since we are a sub-specialty journal dealing with only thoracic oncology. There are no other sub-specialty journals among the top 20 oncology journals. More importantly, the impact factor of other journals in thoracic oncology or surgery fell in 2022. This achievement is a testament to the exemplary work of our editorial board and our managing editor, as well as the support of IASLC—its executives, office staff, membership, and above all, our reviewers, readers, and authors. JTO will continue its emphasis on multidisciplinary research to serve the broad community working in thoracic oncology.”
